Know before you buy
The Race Deck is specifically designed to house both the Elgato Stream Deck MK1 and MK2 models. The enclosure is reversible, allowing you to easily swap or upgrade between these two versions.
No, it does not. The unit features an internal USB-A pass-through, meaning you only need to run a single USB cable from the Race Deck to your PC to power both the button box and your Stream Deck.
The unit is VESA compatible and features four rear M5 inserts. This allows you to easily attach it to standard monitor mounts, profile rig brackets, or any VESA-compliant mounting solution.
The Race Deck uses high-quality CTS rotary encoders and 12mm aluminum-bodied momentary push buttons. These components are chosen for their durability and distinct, professional-grade tactile click.
The 7-way multi-switch is an optional upgrade that provides extra inputs for complex tasks like menu navigation or brake bias adjustments. If you only need standard button and encoder inputs, the base configuration is sufficient for most racing titles.
While they provide a premium look, the 2mm matte twill carbon fiber plates also serve as a rigid, durable structural frame for the enclosure. This ensures the device remains stable even during intense racing sessions.
